    I watch the English Premier League a lot. Favorite team is Liverpool

    Not all, but most, of the best players in the world play there. It is way better soccer then the MLS. 
     

    The difference between the talent in MLS and EPL is equivalent to D2 college football and the NFL   

     

    Then why did  Rooney, and Beckham and all these other big name stars come over here to play?

    End of their career money grab. Only the older guys move from EPL to MLS

    They were done at the highest level so they moved down in class to cash in one last payday

    Well, Phil Mickelson was supposed to be done as well.

    Actually there has been plenty of speculation and plenty of evidence about just THAT based on indices that were given off...including the fact that  BB  was wanting to groom Jimmy Garropolo to replace Brady some years earlier. In essence,  BB was forced to go along with the trade that sent JG to SFO.  In fact, apparently  BB wanted to actually trade  Brady to SFO and not  Garrapolo  (per John Lynch...49ers GM).  Robert Kraft would have none of that.  Just like when he thought  Bernie Kosar was done, BB thought that Brady may have been done and was looking to replace him. Its a main reason  Brady moved out of there when he did.

     I think whatever evidence there is besides the evidence in your head is that Brady wanted a contract extension and Belichick preferred One year at a time. 

     Baker Mayfield wasn't offered a multi year extension either and that doesn't means Stefansky things hes washed up.

    Well,  here like my Dr. Oz situation, is clearly a case of where you have not paid attention to what has been said about this situation.  If BB wanted just one year at a time...it was because, as I said, he was concerned that TB was too long in the tooth and did not want to commit to him for any longer than that.  And I suppose you think that  John Lynch just made up the fact that  BB offered him Brady instead of the Garropolo? Maybe you should take that up with John Lynch.

     Exactly. To another case of you shooting off your mouth without having any knowledge of the situation. As per usual.

    Guys leave English soccer for MLS when they can’t get the same money in England 

    If they still commanded top dollar in England,  they wouldn’t leave for MLS

    I have perfect knowledge of it.  You are the ignorant one here.  You don't have a fucking clue about what is being said out there. 

    How much of this do you read?  How much of it do you watch on the TV sports talk shows.  How much of it do you listen to on sports talk radio.  Fuck all, that's what. 

    You just want to defend Belichick here because you are a Belichick ass kisser.  But for several years now  BB has been trying to purge Brady.  Robert Kraft had to step in and prevent him from doing so.   What do you think? That I am making this shit up? Duh, no.

    I care, and I’m sure our European Browns Backers care

    Do they?  Not so sure.  Why do you think they turned to real football.

    My cousin  from England doesn't care so much.  In fact, he calls soccer players a "bunch of preening pansies"....direct quote from him.  He is a Rugby man. 

    Let's put it this way:

    I am fine that  Columbus's team won the MLS.  As good a choice as any of a team to win that, seeing that it is the closest team to us here in NEO.  But not as good as having a team ourselves. And OK,  the owner of the Browns also owns that team.  Hopefully it portends something for the future of the Browns.

    And I care about our national teams on the international stage.  I personally would prefer our team's win an Olympic Gold Medal over  the World Cup.  That is my personal opinion, and if you don't like it, I have a pair of testicles you can lick.  Of course, our men never do anything,  but our women kick ass at either event.
